JUST MADE IT... In 1966 "See See Rider" peaked at No. 10 thus just making the Billboard's Top 10 and it spent a total of 10 weeks in the Top 100...

This was the group's 1st record were they had a name change; from 'The Animals" to "Eric Burton and The Animals'...

Three other artists have charted with this song; Chuck Willis {#12/1957}, LaVern Baker {#34/1963}, and Bobby Rydell {#76/1966}

This song was featured in Mitch Ryder's 1965 record "Jenny Takes A Ride", it reached No. 10...

[beatlemania100]

great rhythm guitar

[strawberrypicker123]

the rhythm guitar is so fucking good. the straight 7th chords, yes

[Montery12]

See see rider was a great remake by the The Animals. The infusion of rock-n-roll into this song is just amazing. Look at the kids just dancing away and having fun. Thanks Eric and The Animals.

[bigduke616]

bad ass-bad ass-bad ass

[81pluto]

LOL What the fuck is the point in bringing up the artists you hate??? Just shut the fuck up and listen to the music!

[chuck62891]

Can anyone identify this lineup?

[NPoetic]

that microphone is too high for him :D

[nnsrj]

And don't forget Eric too!

[nnsrj]

You say Lady Gaga, I say The Doors

You say Hannah Montana, I say The Rolling Stones

You say Owl City, I say Led Zeppelin

You say Jonas Brothers, I say The Beatles

You say Justin Bieber, I say Queen

You say Taylor Swift, I say AC/DC

95% of teens these days listen to the same crappy pop over and over again. If you're one of the 5% who still listens to real music, thumb this up, then copy & paste it to at least five videos. Don't let the spirit of rock and roll die

[maxsayheyday]

@nnsrj you should paste it to at least five videos of lady gaga, hannah montana, owl city, jonas brothers, justin bieber or taylor swift.... people watching this video already know good music :-)

[franky12134]

great have played with in'avant groupe' with Genesis and a lot of others still musicien 60 years

[robbiecalifornia1951]

They are chewing gum because they are probably jacked sky high on uppers. The drug of choice back in the '66 era.

[gasjam]

@robbiecalifornia1951 thing is we didn't do the drugs in the way you do now ....

[darlingirl143]

years beyond his own time! 

[pinchold]

chewing gum on stage looks sooo stupid!

[valois89]

@pinchold

You do realise that moving your jaw is a great way of helping you keep the rhythm, like tapping your foot? And even if it was gum - hell, that's one of the coolest bands on Earth you're talkin about, they could have worn pink slippers and bunny ears and they still would have been hip:D

[neil2864]

Awesome vocals - no lip synch or auto tune here!

[truxwolf]

hard to believe... es zuckt in den Beinen! Seit 1967 - Dortmund Fantasio - und nun vorgestern im Piano.. leider ohne Burdon! Aber es war gut! THANKS!

[LuSandoz]

eric burdon papuchooooooooooooooo!!!! estas manos tan bellas te amoooooooooooo q temon!!!

[ChimeraAZ]

lisalisavids :

You forgot to add the band that really made this song famous.Mitch Ryder and the Detroit Wheels,in 1967.

[zep68cd]

And thinking that tomorrow I´ll have to face tons onf shit music on the radio while I´m driving....

[claustrea]

¡Poderosísimo!

[fisiorobot]

¿Es Steve Winwood el guitarrista a la derecha de Eric Burdon?

[TamarZucker]

"C. C. Rider , see what you have done....

C. C. Rider I love you yes I do

There is not one thing I would not do for you

Know I love you C.C and I want you by my side C. C. Rider baby, gonna be satisfied...."

C. C. Rider is a drug company; it's name appeared on syringes. This is a reference to the love a man has for his syringe. In the 60's there was a lot of " in" drug & sex messages in music. There was a hell of a lot of censorship. You have no idea. Yet sex & drugs were more available.

[AngelsMarquise]

@TamarZucker thanks for the info!!! i didn't know but i think it's better to talk about sex and drugs in a song like this one then in a song like..nowadays music..this song is so full of emotions and i love when he says "and i won't be back at all" lol i love to say it when i'm in a mood with someone..i say "go to listen to see see rider , you'll know how i feel.."..anyway thank you for those usefull info

[lisalisavids]

@TamarZucker Just curious...where do you get this information? I've been searching around and I can't find any such drug company....

[lisalisavids]

The info I found: "This is a Blues standard first recorded by Ma Rainey, whose version hit #12 in 1925 as "See See Rider Blues." The "C.C. Rider," also known as "See See Rider" or "Easy Rider," is a Blues cliché for the sexual partner, although originally it referred to the guitar hung on the back of the traveling bluesman. (thanks, Patrick - Port Arthur, TX)"

[TamarZucker]

@lisalisavids May not be in business any more but was ordinary pharmaceutical company around in 1960s like Lily, Sandoz , or Burroughs Wellcome Co..Saw this syringe around all the time, doctors, hospitals, junkies, honest. . CC Ryder logo was on their syringe.like Wrangler on jeans or Nike on sneakers. But you are right I can't find it on internet either . Now I am curious too why I can't find anything..Thanks for telling me. If I do find reference I will try to get back to you.

[MsDanieldj]

[ovega65]

Call me what you want but why is that nobody is making music like this any more? Just to think that they were doing this way back in 1966. Wow!!! Wow!!!

[yazzchan]

@ovega65 because people are doucheeeeeeee! if i'd play music i'd totally do it that way, even more maybe. planning in that baby!

[gwugluud]

I take it their keyboard was broke down that day?

[someguy23475]

@gwugluud I actually think it sounds better without the keys. This is more raw and powerful.

[kingdomsbythesea]

Damn I'm in love (:

[crowley67]

KICKASS.TURN IT UP!

[Zecalran]

depends on what u prefer!

[inquiry7]

@yustinusb54 Yes thank you for the newsflash that Elvis, James Burton and hard workin Ronnie Tutt are a little better than Eric Burdon and the Animals. This is still a damn fine performance.

[mRockbaby3]

Elvis not blues -rock Eric have much bluesy voice then Elvis.Elvis is too soft

[imatwatinlove]

omg omg, wa kind of hat is tht hes wearin!? :O

if anyone can help id apreciate it!

[eus478]

@imatwatinlove: In Germany it's called "Prinz-Heinrich-Mütze"(prince Henry cap) - and "beat-club" was a German tv-show.

[cheeman19]

best version of the song is on the AWESOME quinten movie "hell ride". check it out

[elpanchito421]

If I was in a band I would want to look and sound JUST like this. Pure brilliance.

[SuperFatboy52]

Eric Burdon is a rocker

[milka1538]

[SuperFatboy52]

thanks milka1538 i will give his solo albums a listen too when I return from venezuela I,ve been a fan of the animals when I first heard When I Was Young a long time ago when I was a boy

[milka1538]

llisten his live at roxy and denver live vary hard-rock

[turbo1964]

FUCKING AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!

[NIMOMAN0]

When I listen at something like that, I can't help but to wonder why people listen to that Lil' Wayne/Lady Gaga bullshit...

Long live Rock n' Roll !

:D

[Marlene55M]

@NIMOMAN0: Because of lack of taste?

[NIMOMAN0]

@Marlene55M or serious brainwash.

[SCHRUBBE1966]

because they don't know any better. These guys will be listened to far into the future. The rest will be forgotten.

[gioiaparigi]

every morning when i get up i put this video on and it makes my day, i'm full of energy and dream of him the whole day :-)

[04116404]

blues voice.....

[ladidah9]

Tell me about it. Why, Miley, why must you destroy the reputation of my generation forever.

[CrazyIsCool1]

Wow... Eric Burdon is such an amazing singer, it kinda makes you wonder where all the talent went...

[sayyes2bull]

ride on, baby

[roadappleband]

I would love to party with Eric and his old mate Zoot Money.............WILD!!

[spacepatrolman]

@roadappleband Eric said when they were in australia they had people bothering them because they had long hair so they just stay in the hotel and take LSD .

[hammerogod]

Better than the Beatles right from the beginning and E.B. was SO much cooler than Lennon or McCartney

[jml1163]

Ok, I love the Beatles and Eric Burdon. But you should not be comparing apples to oranges. It would be more appropriate to compare the Animals to the Stones--and Eric to Mick. Those two bands are more blues based than the Beatles, and have two comparable frontmen. I would say Eric wins that competition--despite the Rolling Stones popularity, Eric was much more soulful, and had a better voice.

[psychkoala]

I say you're right !

[ampphoto]

feckin' elll

[xopowo69]

Eric Burdon is freakin amazing

[gutsa4979]

@xopowo69 saw the Animals at manchester Cavern 64, mthe accoustics were zero but the band was great, all pro's

[AlyTennyson]

Damn I had good taste in music when I was 10!!!

[psychkoala]

Incredible !

[b00nz00]

I will se E.B and Animals next week on rock festival (togeather with C. Santana and S. Burke)..but fuck Santana and Burk, im going because Eric Burdon and Animals!!!

[thesource1981]

I think that the Doors were heavily influenced by the animals?????????

[steveododo]

i thing that almost bad parts of good 60s bands influenced the doors :)

[drnrg31]

I was thinking that very thing

[crazyboxturtles]

you thought wrong.

[gingerdoll]

If it's your first night at beat club, you have to beat.

[kidelloco]

my daddy played this for me and i just love em

[moxie96]

Met Eric in '02 and had his autobio signed for my Mom and a original 60's glossy for myself. Nice fella. Gave me a kiss.

[barnfresh60]

oh do tell, look at you well!!!! nice to see Burdon fans still out there, well done MOXIE96 you rock girl...

[sergioalonzo]

[barnfresh60]

[DravenCorvinus1]

[TheGregWoodBand]

Smokin hot performance!

[Usurped]

[Jibbie49]

In '67 we were ALL young. LOL

[CrazyIsCool1]

The best ever... love it:-)

[ghiurt]

[barnfresh60]

[razek44]

[CrazyIsCool1]

such a Groovy song!

[hulkhogan100]

i love it

[wianbrilson]

fantastic!

[barnfresh60]

all you soft plastic bands out there, if your wondering why its all so soft today?? here,s your answer boys, get down and get dirty and get into the rythem like we did all those years ago,,Jesus man Burdons music and other Rockers is a big part of solution to cure the lack lustre we have toooo much of today, fk it,this is the real deal Steel!!!!

[flatgone]

This is the real shit. I feel bad for kids today who have 8000 no talent bands to listen to and 99% of them suck bad.

[barnfresh60]

you got that right mate, spot on,how bad are the bands today, i mean if half of them tried to do a gig like this they would melt, just hard to get the goods these days in music, what the hells going on???Music corperates are nothing but CONTROL FREAKS, look what they did to SLADE over there time, turned them into butter, its to hard, its too loud, its too fast, and the kids are having too much fun, so lets ruin it for the teens!!!

[moxie96]

I 100% + agree with bothof you flat and barn! I'm having the HARDEST time finding decent music to listen to and those poor kids listening to the garbage DARE call this music nothing because it existed long before they were born. Somebody did correct me it's not the feelings of all kids born after '83 but it's sadly the majority and it is the corps fault making the garbage be all and everything else is nothing and should be ignored. UNFAIR!!!

[barnfresh60]

moxie96, yes and thanks, i would like to take 200 young 18 year olds out to a blues/rockabilly night at the Empire hotel 1 sat night, it will blow them away and change a lot of them towards MUSIC, DAMM the CORPS they really shit me to tears JUSTIFYING their JOBS today, what a lame lame lame situation, no MAGIC like by gone days thats for sure,but i still get to see some of this old stuff even today, just got to know where to go,we are lucky in sydney, some real hot old style bands arround,C YA!!

[kidcalabria]

There's nobody from the original Animals here except Burdon. Although very famous throughout the 60s and 70s, he never did any great records like the original band who were very influential all over the world and inspired thousands to pick up electric guitars and drums and do their own thing, which is what R&R is about, unlike the tribute and cover bands who are all the rage nowadays...

[JulianThomePictures]

#10 on the US, #8 in AUSTRALIA and #2 in CAN.

[srvinfinity]

This may not show off the great vocal range of Eric but it does show he was born for R&B. The Animals are really showing what a great band they are. No lip sync. here baby! Yeah

[greasyguts]

Not one of their biggest but my favorite Animals song. It was on the jukebox at the Ark, Charleston,SC 1967 thru 1980.

[zookeypurrr]

Eric Burdon has charisma

[Jibbie49]

Eric had a GREAT voice. He was SO cute.

[anthonykiedisbegod]

YES! Wholeheartedly agree!!!! :)

[kickassfan]

hell yeah, The beat club!!!!!
